Variables in equations

Equations Global Variable	Data Type	Description
`_baseValue`	Double	The amount of the parameter in a formula. The unit of measure (UOM Extend/Per UOM) is displayed according to the parameter definition.
`_CALCOBJECTKEY` `_CALCOBJECTSYMBOL`	String	The main usage of the `_CALCOBJECTKEY` and `_CALCOBJECTSYMBOL` variables is to perform object-specific alternate unit of measure equation conversions. These two variables generally have the same value as `_ObjectKey` and `_ObjectSymbol`, unless you run an alternate UOM conversion equation. In that scenario, these variables reference the business object (Item, Formula, etc.).Both `_ObjectKey` and `_ObjectSymbol` reference the particular technical parameter that is being converted.
`context.ReturnValue`	String	For item calculated equations, use the variable `context.ReturnValue`. This variable defines what is specified for the parameter. A return code of 1 completes the equation. For example, the equation 2+2 looks like this: `Dim A As Integer = 2+2 Context.ReturnValue = A Return 1` See Example of error for Context.ReturnValue with Option Strict On.
`_ObjectKey` `_ObjectSymbol`	String	The object key and the symbol of the object that is being calculated. Or, the parameter code of the parameter for which the alternate unit of measure is calculated. For example, FS-0001\0001 is an object key for `FORMULA`.


                        _baseValue

Double

The amount of the parameter in a formula. The unit of measure (UOM Extend/Per UOM) is displayed according to the parameter definition.


                        _CALCOBJECTKEY

_CALCOBJECTSYMBOL

String

The main usage of the _CALCOBJECTKEY and _CALCOBJECTSYMBOL variables is to perform object-specific alternate unit of measure equation conversions.

These two variables generally have the same value as _ObjectKey and _ObjectSymbol, unless you run an alternate UOM conversion equation. In that scenario, these variables reference the business object (Item, Formula, etc.).Both _ObjectKey and _ObjectSymbol reference the particular technical parameter that is being converted.


                        context.ReturnValue

String

For item calculated equations, use the variable context.ReturnValue.

This variable defines what is specified for the parameter. A return code of 1 completes the equation. For example, the equation 2+2 looks like this:

Dim A As Integer = 2+2
Context.ReturnValue = A
Return 1

See Example of error for Context.ReturnValue with Option Strict On.

_ObjectKey

_ObjectSymbol

String

The object key and the symbol of the object that is being calculated. Or, the parameter code of the parameter for which the alternate unit of measure is calculated.

For example, FS-0001\0001 is an object key for FORMULA.
